Thumbs down and for good reason

Hype was quickly squashed We went to Nicks after not only having it recommended but seeing google had rated it so high. First off. This place is an old 60''s style family restaurant. Old time feel. But it's clean and kind of throwback fun The service was friendly and we're happy to get you settled in and comfortable This is where it's stops for the positive I could nit pick this place but I'll get to the point. They can't cook a steak. The NY Strip was 1/2" thick and was cooked well done TWICE After asking for Med Rare. The steak was such a bad cut both times full of gristle, thinly cut and wasn't a striploin. It was a chewy sirloin. The steak tasted of really dirty grill and was inedible. The seasoning wasn't good either The pasta was undercooked and stuck together in a ball which required a knife to cut it into bites The pizza is over cheesed meh. Nothing to get excited about. For 2 kids and 2 adults with no desert and tip it came to $192. Save you're money and spend it at the Keg as they are quality and consistent for that price range I wouldn't roll the dice on this place. Try somewhere else. Some nostalgia and google review hype is just plain outdated and incorrect.

calamari
chewy b.

After years of hearing about this place we have a chance to try it. We wanted to try a little of everything. We had the calamari. $18. It was very light crispy thin calarmari rings with bit of tomato, onion and lemon. Dusted green onions. pretty tasty. we also had the Lunch steak 6 oz on garlic slice bread with salad. fresh but unremarkable and then the pizzas Diavolo. overly sweet and very spicy. flavors unbalanced. and the Kardiakafti.. lacked beef and also unbalanced flavors. I brought it to my teen and she hated the pizzas and ahe loves spice. Both of these pizzas won YYC pizza week so i can only conclude someone in kitchen doesn't know how to make. They did not taste good. great service. I would not go out of my way to return though. The pizzaa were supposed to be the highlight of the meal but just really sucked. The ambiance was dated and a lot of photos of memories. Wish we had a better eating experience here.

Dining room

Great food, amazing ambiance, classic family restaurant. This place should be a Calgary landmark. An applicable 90's quote, "I'll be back" Stopped in here based on its proximity to our hotel and will definitely be going back. Nick's is a throwback for any 80's child. As soon as we walked up to the restaurant I knew it was going to be amazing. It was like the place came out of a time capsule. The red vinyl benches in the booth took me back. My wife said she knew what the menu's art would look like before she even opened it and I knew exactly what she meant. It was nostalgia. Our server and the wait staff were all friendly. It was a quiet Wednesday night, so we had a very attentive waiter that made sure everything was just right. I'm sure if it were busier we still would have had a great detail of attention paid to us. Portions here are on the larger scale. Make sure you ask before you order too much! We had a small lunch for 5 the next day based off of our leftovers. Any place that is a steak and pizza restaurant has to have good pizza and the kids loved theirs. The pizza bread was cheesy and fantastic, with more than a paper thin crust. The meat sauce to dip it in was thick and tasty, seasoned perfectly. And portion size was on the larger size. The pizza was a nice thick slice with ample toppings. No skimping here. The house salad was tasty, if not a little over dressed. I'm a little different here given recent weight loss goals, but if I had to find fault it would be that the salad dressing was a little much. Tasty for sure, but a little too much of it. But don't get me wrong, I still finished the salad! My wife shared a full rack of ribs with our daughter and the meat was top quality. A little saucier than I would normally like, but tasty. They tossed more fries than they ate, but not because of taste. Even the fries were fantastic; nice and thick, looking like homemade. The Creole Chicken was tender, nicely seasoned and spicy as advertised in all the right ways. The baked potato came still wrapped in the foil and you can have as much topping as you like with your server at the table side offering them traditional garnishes. Nick's tries to support local, using beers from the area while offering popular national brands too. Their desserts are in house or come from the area pie shop, which is a nice touch. The bill came in lower than my expectations and that's probably the portion size muddling it. Bang for your buck, this place is better than the Canadian national chain sit down pizza joint that families flock to, and that I grew up eating in. This is a special place that I look forward to going back to. It's a hidden gem. Can't wait for our next trip to Calgary.

Lamb Chops @Nick'sSteakHouse excellent

Hometown fave Nick's Steakhouse (est 1979) is the perfect family-style restaurant for any occasion. Always great service (thanks Tandy!) and high quality meats. Try their lamb chops, absolutely huge serving size and the best in flavour. I definitely want to try their steak and lobster combo but not for the $90 price tag when there's better in competition for that at other steakhouses. The Nutella gelato is locally sourced and absolute fire.

Awesome!Steak is so juicy! Highly recommend taco salad! Steak is medium rare so tasty!

Steak & Lobster

My oldest son treated my husband & I to dinner at Nicks Steak House on the weekend . We haven't been here for several years. It was a Sunday and lots of people were enjoying dinner out . I ordered the lamb dinner , husband had a steak sandwich and our son had the steak and lobster . We had appetizer of calamari which was tender & excellent. And an order of garlic shrimp in a delicious sauce . They brought extra bread to soak up the tasty sauce . Our meals were generous and we were so stuffed , there was no room for dessert . Our waiter was very friendly and always attentive to our needs . We enjoyed our dinner out and hope to return again !

Ribye Steak delivered was excellent!

First time using their new delivery service and it was excellent! The steak was hot, the salad crisp and cold, the garlic toast was perfect and all trimmings were packaged well. My ribye was delicious. It was delivered quickly too. I already live Nick's Steakhouse and there extended service reflects there high quality.

I love this place. I am never disappointed when I visit Nick's, the food is always hot and made to perfection from scratch. Staff is always friendly and provide amazing service and are always friendly. We had a classic burger on this visit which was amazing and a homemade patty. Caesar salad didn't disappoint either. The atmosphere is so classic for an old school restaurant of this style. I grew up going to restaurants like this and always loved them as it's not a chain and if you food or service is lacking you just wouldn't survive.

Weekend brunch buffet. Lots of options. Pretty tasty too.

Lots of pepperoni, not greasy, crust is perfect- lightly chewy. Pizza slices hold their own. The chef's version of a Hawaiian pizza called 'broke da mouth' is very fun and tasty! The combination of their red sauce base, large slices of pineapple, Spam, and bacon make this pizza a stand out from the typical Hawaiian pizza. The Spam was awesome, made us feel like we were back in Maui! We would recommend both the pepperoni and broke da mouth. We also heard the chef has a James Beard award - not surprising with the menu, quality of food, and service! We also ordered the Greek salad. It's big enough for two, fresh, and the dressing was awesome! DoorDash does deliver for them too. We picked up - it's very Covid clean. Hand sanitizer, easy payment, staff behind plexi glass and wearing masks. Food was ready when they said. We can't wait for our next pizza night- maybe we'll try the clam bake or meatball pizzas!! Clean easy in and easy out for pickup order. Everyone should try!

Fiercely feeling the pizza cravings laying on my couch one night, I decided to browse SkipTheDishes…read morein search of a good classic pizza pie. I wasn't looking for thin-crust or Neapolitan style - those are always best eaten right out of that scorching oven they're made in - and I'm not much of a deep dish guy, so I just wanted a few slices of classic 'za while I glare at the tube. Before I knew it, my driver had arrived and brought with him a gift from Bow Tie - a beautiful and massive 14" meat pizza, half of which I later freezer bagged for the following week. The Meat Lovers came stacked with pepperoni, salami, ham and bacon, all on a thin layer of tomato sauce, and topped with a generous serving of melted mozzarella. To round out the deli meats, I added a few extra toppings - onions, mushrooms and green peppers; some of my favourites. The meats all tasted fresh as can be and it was evident that the veggies weren't soggy and old, but freshly cut, perhaps only hours before. As someone who doesn't enjoy eating plain crust, I made a mental note that the outsides of this pie were just as tasty as the insides. The crust had a softer crunch, something that only a quality dough will offer. The word "stacked" I mentioned earlier was no exaggeration - this pizza was massive and could have been mistaken for a deep dish at first glance. If you want real-deal - Seniore's and Vern's are the only joints in town that I believe have this place beat - do yourself a solid and get some delivery from Bow Tie Pizza. Just thinking about biting into one of those flavourful, meaty, warm slices of goodness is making me salivate all over again. It can be next to impossible fighting pizza cravings, amirite?

My son spent his gaming money to surprise us with pizza. He heard us talking about how good it was…read more We had it at a party and it was stacked with meat. It cost him $82 for two medium pizzas. One was pepperoni with the same amount of pepperoni you get at Costco. And the other was the mother of dragons which was delicious but at the same time it wasn't a stacked with meat as at the party. And no medium pizza is worth $40, unless it was truly stocked and it wasn't. We would've been much better to go to Boston Pizza or anywhere for that matter! Blaze pizza is amazing and it wouldn't have cost near that much money. I just feel like crying for my son who was just trying to do something nice for us. If you do order never ever ever order from Uber eats! Order from Paul's. That was stacked meat. I honestly could cry for my son. For him to waste that much money that he worked hard for. Edit the manager called me and is giving a large pizza to try again. Please do not ever order the pizza from Uber Eats because it's grossly overpriced. Also don't order the pepperoni because it's not the stacked meat the way that the other pizzas are. I do appreciate her calling though and making that right that is truly wonderful service.

This is an incredibly mixed bag. I'll start with the negatives so I can end with the good stuff…read more As someone else mentioned, the wings are on the smaller side, but 15 for around $14 isn't a bad deal these days and frankly I'd prefer more smaller than less bigger. Personal preference, but obviously not everyone will agree with that. The bigger issue is that they are breaded. The pictures on the website make it look like they are traditional chicken wings, they definitely aren't and there is quite a bit of breading on them. This matters for a few reasons. The first is unless you are talking boneless "wings" a traditional chicken wing is unbreaded. If you serve a dish that is prepared in a non-traditional manner you should probably footnote that. The next issue is caused by the first. When you have a breaded wing that is then spun the breading gets soggy and you essentially end up with a chicken sponge. When your restaurant only functions as a takeout/delivery location that sogginess gets compounded by the breading taking on moisture from the steam. Hot soggy mess. The good? Well the Extra Hot sauce is actually extra hot! Which is great! Most places their hot tastes like ketchup and their "extra hot" tastes like ketchup that was stored near a bottle of Franks Hot Sauce. The sauce was well flavored and a great heat level. Other thing, their blue cheese is just so-so, but their garlic dipping sauce is outstanding. It almost reminds me of the garlic sauce that schwarma places serve. The lady working there was also really nice.

I am from out of town. Wanted something quick and easy to take back to my hotel. Ordered a carry…read moreout special. 1 medium 3 topping pizza, 16 wings, garlic bread, and 3 sodas for just over $20?? Cant beat the value. Pizza was fantastic. Wings were pretty good.
